I have been informed by Ebsco that access to RCN title on Cinahl+ with FT
will continue to be available for 2014. Don't know what happens after that,
of course.

RCN informed me that their agreement with EBSCO ends in Sept 2014. I’m not
sure if that means that existing content will be pulled, or just that no new
content will be added.

I've been watching this discussion with interest. Our position is that we
don't currently have any sort of subscription: our only RCN provision is
through ProQuest and CINAHL. It's been assumed that we'll also lose the
access from CINAHL too, in which case I have the interesting task of trying
to magic up money to pay for them: I have - rightly! - rather disgruntled
colleagues at the moment.
Best wishes,

We only found out here about this from our subscription agent who alerted us
to the price increases, so we've been looking at all the options available
including OVID.
I notice that there's mention of the RCN content no longer being on ProQuest
and Cengage. Does this only apply to the current years - will some backfiles
remain with these aggregators? Also, does anyone know their position with
EBSCO?

I'm afraid in our case we aren't in a position to afford the enormous price
rises your 'normalisation measures' have resulted in, there is no renewal,
only cancellation from us. Nor did we find out via any official
communications, I found out from library colleagues via Twitter.
Poor show RCN.

Susan

I would like to clarify a few points from the listserv discussions today as
there is some misinformation with regard to some of our recent changes. We
are reviewing all of our aggregator vendor arrangements and it is correct
that RCN Publishing titles are no longer available through Proquest and
CENgage Learning. Although we are also in the process of changing the
worldwide sales and distribution of our journal titles this will not affect
customers in the United Kingdom and we will continue to serve customers in
the UK directly.
With regard to the changes in our pricing structure, RCN Publishing is happy
to discuss with you any concerns you have regarding your renewal. We have
taken every effort to reach out to each and every subscribing institution to
advise of the recent changes to our platform and pricing and why these
normalisation measures were necessary.
With best wishes,
Tony O'Rourke
Commercial Director

I think someone needs to clarify as the BMJ told me that they are now 'in
partnership' with the RCN and when I asked about the big deal encompassing
their titles, for example, and whether the RCN titles would be included for
2014 they said no, but they hoped they would be in 2015 ...
I've now been in touch with our agent AND Ovid to establish what's going on!

The BMJ have told us that they can't supply RCN content to UK customers.

Changing to Atypon and pulling your content out of ProQuest and other
aggregators is bad enough, and now this massive price hike and stupid
institutional licencing that doesn't even provide a proper archive.
